Maybe some graduate-level classes need to be taught by a researcher in the field and so students will simply have to deal with any deficiencies that researcher may have as a teacher, but IMO undergrads will probably learn more at a community college because the professors are actually there to teach.
I still wouldn’t recommend the community college because the diploma from there won’t get the graduate as much respect, but I do know a community college graduate with a bachelor’s who makes way more than I do. She had trouble getting her first job but once she had some work experience, employers cared a lot less about where she studied. I also know and another graduate who got her associate’s at a community college and then transferred to somewhere more prestigious; she saved money without compromising her education.
Some researchers make terrible teachers. It’s ridiculous to me.
Not to mention people managers. Oof.
It’s almost like the two skill sets are not actually equivalent.
